Construction Figures: The most underrated subtheme?
These guys have been pretty controversial ever since they started, but I think they were exactly what Lego was missing for years: a buildable action figure line. Ever since Bionicle G2 failed, there hasn't really been many sets to fill that market that weren't mechs or static display statues. These were a great way to have characters in a large scale without the need for minifigs.
The biggest criticism I've seen for them is the blocky head shape. Since they all share a head mold (except the astronaut and Galactus), Their faces are printed on a curved piece. It does look weird on some of them, but I think it gives them a distinct look and reminds you that it's Lego.
It's a shame these didn't sell well, because there's still so much potential for future figures. They could still throw one into a minifig set, like last year's Ant-Man, but it seems like standalone Construction Figures are done. It would've been cool to get some other than Marvel or DC, like the astronaut.
Has anyone tried rolling the cheese wheel by taking the supports and superlaser off?
Would be hilarious to see how it rolls

Doctor Strange and America Chavez can open magic portals (MCU)
The Spot has portals on his body, and gains the power to open them anywhere (Spider-Verse)
Lex Luthor built portals to his own pocket dimension (Superman)
Voyd has the power to create portals (Incredibles 2)
Possible next Disney parks sets?
Three of the mini-builds in 43302 Main Street USA exist as actual sets, and the rest we haven't gotten. I would absolutely love a Big Thunder Mountain Railroad or Space Mountain set.

Did you know there's an official Ole Kirk Christiansen minifig? And it can be made with common pieces!
What's a good way to store disassembled sets separated by bag?
When I disassemble a set for storage, I separate it in ziploc bags by bag number, so it's easier to rebuild one bag at a time. I keep them in the original boxes, but I'm planning on tearing down most of them and storing the bags in clear bins.
But since some bags are hard to differentiate just by looking at the pieces, how could I make sure they don't get mixed up? Are there bins with dividers inside?
I'm not sure about putting labels on the ziploc bags, since they wear down over time and have to be replaced. And some sets are too big to put multiple bags inside a larger bag.
